Okay Internet, before we begin we"ve got a bit of a confession to make don"t be angry. This 1955 Tempo Mikafa Sport did originally come out of the factory with the engine from a Porsche 356, but it"s currently equipped with an unspecified four-cylinder boxer. Boooo. Still, it"s pretty darn cool right? And just imagine what modern Porsche engine you could plumb in if you keep your hand up for long enough at the Mecum Auctions Monterey sale in August. You"d have to leave the cosmetics unrestored though, because in its current state this aluminium-bodied beauty might just be one of the best-looking campers we"ve ever seen. There are all kinds of 50s styling cues too. Check out the sleek lines, the whitewall tyres and the heavily patterned interior.
